Didn't she say she's never seen the Star Wars movies before? BFD is what I say. She might not be into that kind of thing... but if her co-star is cast and she's happy about it, then great... it even sounds like she might watch the other 6 movies to know the story when she watches E7. Maybe she'll be come a fan, maybe not, but it sounds like she'll give them a try.

It has also been confirmed that Star Wars: Episode VII is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, and will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces. No further details on casting or plot are available at this time.

I saw him at a Con appearance 2 or 3 years ago. Maybe longer. And even then he wasn't looking that great. If you look tired signing autographs, how are you going to handle a film shoot? Or Dancing with the stars, for that matter?
